DOUBLE TROUBLE

Su-doku corner

The totals given in the areas bounded by

bold lines (cages) can be the result of

addition, subtraction, multiplication or

division. The numbers 1-5 can appear once

in every row and column. Note that

numbers can be repeated within cages.

Solutions in tomorrow’s Daily Mirror

The rules for Su-doku couldn’t be easier.

All you have to do is fill the empty squares

so that each row, column and 3x3 block

contains all the numbers 1 to 9.

Solutions in tomorrow’s Daily Mirror

The rules for Su-doku are easy, but this one’s

a toughie! Each number from 1 to 9 must

appear only once in each horizontal and

vertical line, and only once in each 3x3 grid.

Solutions in tomorrow’s Daily Mirror

Killer Su-doku is based on the traditional

grid and every column, every row and

every 3x3 box must contain the digits

1 to 9. But the dotted squares must be

filled with numbers that add up to that

in the left corner.
